Everyone in Shaker Heights was talking about it that summer: how Isabelle, the last of the Richardson children, had finally gone around the bend and burned the house down.

In Shaker Heights, a placid, progressive suburb of Cleveland, everything is meticulously planned – from the layout of the winding roads, to the colours of the houses, to the successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson, whose guiding principle is playing by the rules.

Enter Mia Warren – an enigmatic artist and single mother – who arrives in this idyllic bubble with her teenage daughter Pearl, and rents a house from the Richardsons. Soon Mia and Pearl become more than just tenants: all four Richardson children are drawn to the alluring mother-daughter pair. But Mia carries with her a mysterious past, and a disregard for the rules that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community.

When the Richardsons' friends attempt to adopt a Chinese-American baby, a custody battle erupts that dramatically divides the town and puts Mia and Mrs. Richardson on opposing sides. Suspicious of Mia and her motives, Mrs. Richardson becomes determined to uncover the secrets in Mia's past. But her obsession will come at unexpected and devastating costs to her own family – and Mia's.

Little Fires Everywhere explores the weight of long-held secrets and the ferocious pull of motherhood-and the danger of believing that planning and following the rules can avert disaster, or heartbreak.

For the winner or the decoy of the february's tombola. Congratulations and have a good reading !

Merciiiiiiiii! Je voulais vraiment lire ce livre et à la médiathèque de Toulouse il n'y avait plus de budget quand je l'ai proposé en suggestion d'achat. Finalement je pourrai donc le lire en langue originale!

Merci aussi pour le joli petit mot et la "come on it's bedtime" étiquette. Je lirai ce livre au lit, au chaud.

J'étais happé par ce livre, je vivais quelques jours entre les personnages. Aussi bien que son premier roman!

Ce livre part à ... dans le cadre de la tombola d'avril 2019. Son premier livre est sur la liste des livres souhaités, donc je suppose que son dernier roman plaira également.

Bonne lecture!
